i did have 10 session of acupuncture after each i felt 3-4 h better like 25-50%
But the pain is back with full bloom in the morning
I did acupuncture at my units medical before I retired. I’d go in for my PTSD and my medical officer offered it to help my back and shoulder pain. It did pretty well but once we started getting Into the crazy stuff to help align my chi and stuff my body started resisting. Consistent treatments helped me a little though. Enough to get around a little easier
I have tried acupuncture and it did nothing for me.i had difficulty laying with needles and could not wait to leave.
Good luck to you
